Title: Hardware for symmetrical 1Gb PPPoE connection?
Post by: riahc3 on March 17, 2023, 09:23:43 AM
Hello

Im looking for the hardware I need to run a symmetrical 1Gb PPPoE connection.

From what Ive seen the most important part for this is the CPU so thats what Im most intrested in.

Seeing these mini boxes and reducing costs, I think I would like to go for one of these. I just need the processor I need for it.

Thank you

If you don't want to break the bank, either a Celeron J6412 or N5105 will do the job.

I just got a Dell Wyse 5070 Extended with a Intel Pentium Silver J5005 off ebay for this purpose. I'm using it with a 4-port i350 card. It can get very close to line rate with a basic ruleset. There is a fair bit of variance in my testing, almost certainly due to the ISP.
